Instead of working with individual volunteers, Volunteer Alberta strives to connect organizations and help them achieve their missions in Alberta’s communities.
Founded as a registered nonprofit society in 1990 by voluntary sector leaders, Volunteer Alberta represents hundreds of members across all sub-sectors, including arts and culture, social services, education and health.
Volunteer Alberta is Alberta’s only provincial capacity builder for the nonprofit/voluntary sector and does so by:
- Expanding its membership to include a network of 28 Volunteer Centres across rural and urban Alberta.
- Providing resources to over 19,000 nonprofits and helping them grow
- Facilitating courses, training, and other learning opportunities specifically for Alberta`s nonprofit organizations
- Answering questions and providing the best reports, research, templates, guidelines, and other practical tools for topics of importance to nonprofit/voluntary organizations
